About Scrappy Stuff – Textured Marble Fidget Toy
Learn or practice skills with this functional toy. Textured Marble Fidget Toy is a handheld toy using DK, worsted, or bulky weight yarn and a glass marble.

Shana Cohen
Shana Cohen is an architect with experience teaching technical and design studio courses in several higher education venues. She brings her experience of geometry and writing design syllabi to my pattern writing. Her size-inclusive patterns are mostly modular designs, and mostly garter stitch! In pattern writing, she makes legible directions that allow the knitter to customize their own work in the process. She pays attention to maximizing yardage and adaptability of styling in my work. Throughout all of her endeavors, Shana loves connecting with individuals, helping them to become the best version of themselves. She aims to write her patterns in a way to foster this creative expression for the knitter. Shana hopes you will have fun playing with color and style when working her patterns.
